The use of an gratuitous int variable rc to capture return values
is rampant throughout this code.  In fact, not using it is something
of a violation of the local style, but in the case of signal() I
think it's justifiable because SIG_ERR is so much neater than
changing rc to long and messing around with explicit casts.
